Once a majestic mansion on a sprawling 1,271m2 (approx.) estate, today this Edwardian home offers family comfort amid enticing possibilities. Enveloped by towering 12-foot ceilings, the home reminisces its glory days through an elegant ensemble of intricate cornices, cast-iron fireplaces, and ornate joinery throughout a flexible floorplan of grand proportions.
Set back from the street beyond rambling gardens, the home is introduced by an idyllic tuck-pointed façade and wrap-around verandah. A resplendent formal lounge room hosts guests beneath a soaring pressed metal ceiling and magnificent chandelier, while a formal dining hall provides incredible space for lively entertaining. A later extension provides a casual open plan domain for day-to-day living and meals, providing a spacious gas kitchen and a slow-combustion fireplace.
Three bedrooms enjoy the lavish dimensions of its era, while a fourth bedroom adjoins a home office or kids' retreat with a kitchenette. Finished with a laundry, two bathrooms, and a four-car garage accessed via Malin Street, the home delivers astounding space for family living. Last updated in the 1970's, the home yearns for a modern renovation, while the immense 1,271m2 (approx.) corner site inspires a luxurious new home design or a contemporary townhouse development (subject to council approval).
Situated among Melbourne's prestigious public and private schools, the home is perfectly positioned within paces of Kellet Reserve, Auburn Village and Glenferrie Road's shopping and eatery precincts, and within easy reach of public transport.
